The side of the shuttle is as usually formed with a nick or slot 00 preferably at an angle of 30 degrees which nick or slot diagonally crosses the threading hole 3 formed in the shuttle side communicating with the cavity 8.

t each side of the outer end of the threading hole 3/ is fixed a steel pin 2 which prevents the weft cutting into same and breaking the weft and thus forms an eye for the weft to pass through.

Figs. 6 and 7 show 5 different methods of obtaining different degrees of tension on the weft.

In Fig. 6, the thread marked 1 passes direct from the slot of the said fitting into the threading hole y, the thread 2, around a and the thread 3, around the pin t, and then into the threading hole 1 In Fig. 7, the thread marked 4;, passes pin 6 and then around pin a and the thread 5 firs around the pin a and then around pin t into the threading hole.
